Day 174 - Summer reading kick-off at the Edmonds library this afternoon with a priate entertainer guy. Hannah got to see more friends from kindergarten. At the rate she's going, she'll spend the whole summer with her kindergarten buddies. The girls went to a birthday party for their neighbor friend across the street in the morning and got in some trampoline and water slide time. It looks like it's the beginning of neighborhood kid street play season. The longest day of the year was two days ago so this time of year it stays light until almost 10 pm. I went for a run, then we were all out front, kids running around with the neighbor kids and us weeding. It was such a warm pleasant, evening, the kind of summer evening I love.

Day 153, 154 and 155
Day 153
Girls - Swim/Jen - Run/John - Walk plus some trampoline time for the girls with the neighbors
Day 154
Last gymnastics of the session for the girls, a walk for john, purposely NO walking or running or activity of any kind for me. It became evident last night that the tightness I've been feeling in my left calf over the last week was more than just tightness, but was the beginning of an injury. If I can stay off my feet until the half marathon, hopefully, this won't be a factor.
Day 155
A break for all of us, cleaning house and getting ready for a jam packed weekend

Day 121 and 122
Day 121
John gets to count the 5 hours of waxing the boat as his workout. I got in 5 hours of running. The kids did some trampoline time across the street 30 min. Hannah also helped daddy wash the car.
Day 122
We spent time in the backyard weeding, planting and repotting plants. Hannah's sunflower from Pioneer Club broke into 3 pieces and she was absolutely crushed since her teacher had requested a picture of her standing by her grown sunflower next fall. I suggested to Hannah that we do a "science experiement" and see if it is a plant that grows from cuttings. We planted each of the 3 parts. I told her we would also grow a new plant from a seed. She was worried that it was too late, but I asuered he we would have a new plant in no time. I got in 11 miles today. I'm hoping my basil plant from trader Joes makes it outside. It has been in the house for a few weeks. Hopefully the impending wind storm tonight doens't wreak havoc on our new plants. I only need to be at about 9 miles, but am happy that I am still ahead of schedule. Hopefully the race itself will be easier if I've had lots of practice going close to 13 miles.

Day 108 and 109
These two days were if-we-piece-it-all-together-then-I-think-we-did-OK days. They were both such nice warm, sunny days, we just had to be outside. So, though we weren't doing all our activities together, I think we met the goal to get outside and moving.
Day 108
Girls - trampoline time across the street, car washing with Daddy, helping mom make ice cream and slushies with our new ice cream maker
John - car washing, lawn mowing (are you seeing a trend here?)
Jen - 9 miles on the Burke Gilman
Day 109
Girls - swim lessons, weeding with Daddy, running around outside with the neighborhood kids. Both girls got some extra time in with Mommy today - Hannah reading and Haley ABCs.
John - walking loop and yard work
Jen - this is my bonafide rest/recovery day, a part of the training program, and a good thing because I was sore and tired today. Well, technically I was supposed to do some stengthening and stretching but I opted for working on cleaing the house which is still no where near clean, decluttered, presentable, choose your favorite phrase.
Stay tuned for tomorrow when I figure out how the heck to fit my run in - it will be a busy day

Day 71, 72, and 73
Day 71
Soccer in the backyard, 15 min.
Day 72
Tag team again. We went down to the Burke Gilman Trail, for the 1st 30 min I ran 3 miles, John pushed the jogger for Haley and Hannah rode her bike, they made it about 1.5 miles. When I was done, the girls played on the playground for abot 30 min while John went out for his walk.
Day 73
Everyone did their own thing for active time. Me - 5 miles, my 1st long run of my half marathon training. John got to play with the chain saw tackling a stubborn shrub that wouldn't even come out of the ground when it was attached to a pick-up. The girls got trampoline time at the neighbor's. Our fun things together today were planting wheat grass for an Easter decoration, adding ingredients for Day 5 of the Amish Friendship bread and using our ice cream make to make honey gelato.
